In the 80s, there was a table tennis demon level figure, she was Cao Yanhua.
In a world competition such as the World Table Tennis Championships, Cao Yanhua has absolute dominance, winning 7 World Table Tennis Championships before and after, namely:
3 team champions [1979, 1981, 1983].2 singles titles [1983, 1985].
1 Women's Doubles champion [1981].
1 Mixed Doubles Champion [1985].
Cao Yanhua. Today, I will talk to you about the story of the former table tennis demon Cao Yanhua, ......
In December 1962, Cao Yanhua was born in a working family in Shanghai, the third in the family, because she was born late, so her sisters are several years older than her.
Therefore, Cao Yanhua is the treasure in the palm of everyone in the family.
When the child is one year old, it is the time when the child is a little ignorant, so almost all parents across the country will do one thing when the child is 1 year old, that is, to draw lots, see what the child will choose, what the future will do, and it can be regarded as a metaphor.
And Cao Yanhua, maybe it was really fate, there were so many bells and whistles in front of her, Cao Yanhua chose a white little white ball, and she was very happy when she got it.
Cao Yanhua. The parents are also overjoyed, it seems that their daughter is going to embark on the road of table tennis.
At that time, it was the time when table tennis was very popular, just a few years ago, Rong Guotuan won the first world championship in New China, so the table tennis project became popular all over the country, and even many parents sent their children to play ball, in order to win glory for the country in the future.
Slowly, Cao Yanhua grew up, and after going to elementary school, Cao Yanhua also began to officially embark on the road of table tennis under the guidance of his father.
At the beginning of learning to play, his father just let Cao Yanhua learn to shoot with a racket, first exercise the feel, and Cao Yanhua is also very serious, there is no child's irritability at all, is very serious about learning to shoot the ball, less than a week, Cao Yanhua has been able to shoot 500 times in a row.
After practicing racketing, the second exercise item is to playBecause I like table tennis, everyone in the family can come to play one or two times, and Cao Yanhua also began to play with her mother and sister under her father's arrangement.
Cao Yanhua. In the second grade, Cao Yanhua participated in the primary school table tennis team and began to learn to play with a little professionalism, what to exercise the pace, and how to exercise the playing posture, all of which Cao Yanhua learned in primary school.
Finally, Cao Yanhua entered the school team with hard work, and after entering the school team, Cao Yanhua worked harder, and in just one year, he defeated the No. 1 seed athlete in primary school.
My sister saw that my sister was so promising, and happily took my sister to watch the film, this film is a documentary of the Chinese table tennis team's visit to the Western European team, watching the athletes in the film so powerful, Cao Yanhua is even more convinced:
I'm going to be a world champion too.In 1973, 11-year-old Cao Yanhua was selected to enter the Shanghai Hongkou District Youth Sports School, and since then, Cao Yanhua has officially embarked on a professional path and began to learn professional formal training in table tennis.
Talents are rare, but it is even more rare to find talents, Cao Yanhua entered a professional sports school, but it was not so easy.
Actually,Cao Yanhua was the last child to be admitted to the sports school.
At that time, the district sports school had already recruited athletes, but the teachers of the school's sports school really felt that Cao Yanhua was a good seedling, and couldn't bear to let her miss the opportunity like this, so he personally took Cao Yanhua to the district sports school.
After coming to the district sports school, the teacher took Cao Yanhua to the famous table tennis coach Wang Lianfang in Shanghai, Wang Lianfang looked at the little girl in front of her, with thick curly hair and big eyes, she was a Peugeot person, who liked it very much, but she couldn't look at her appearance when she played, so Wang Lianfang asked Cao Yanhua to try.
This attempt shocked Wang LianfangThis little girl has a steady pace, high quality of play, and good psychological quality, and she is not in a hurry to fall behindSo Wang Lianfang immediately agreed to include another athlete exceptionally.
In this way, Cao Yanhua entered the district sports school.
However, after entering the district sports school, Cao Yanhua finally realized the cruelty of training.
Cao Yanhua. But the district sports school is very strict, first in the morning let the children gather to run, and then jump training, the most rare is to play, because the outdoors will be disturbed by the wind and light, so the training can only be in the venue, but after the stadium is crowded, it starts to be hot, plus sometimes the lights have to be turned on, it is like a big steamer.
Cao Yanhua didn't like this, but she really liked to play, and in order to love it, Cao Yanhua had to endure the difficult conditions.
After a period of training, Wang Lianfang has mastered Cao Yanhua's training characteristics and decided to let Cao Yanhua determine the style of playThe game is a combination of straight shot fast break and curve ball play, which combines China's unique fast attack and the popular European curve ball, Cao Yanhua is the only one.
After arduous training, in 1977, Cao Yanhua successfully entered the national training team and entered the national team that all athletes dream of.
Cao Yanhua. At this time, Cao Yanhua was only 15 years old.
After entering the national team, Cao Yanhua found that the previous world was too small.
The national team is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, everyone has their own skills, but Cao Yanhua doesn't have to feel inferior, because Cao Yanhua's potential was quickly discovered by one person:
Xu Yinsheng.Soon after entering the national team, Xu Yinsheng discovered Cao Yanhua, a strange soldier, although Cao Yanhua's advantages were not obvious at this time, but she could still see her future development.
So, Cao Yanhua deliberately strengthened training under Xu Yinsheng's attention, and Cao Yanhua was also very happy, the resources of the national team are too goodWhat positive rubber, reverse rubber, long rubber, raw rubber, straight shooting, horizontal shooting, people with various playing style characteristics, which also helped Cao Yanhua improve a lot, and also learned the technique of backhand high toss serve.
Cao Yanhua. In this way, Cao Yanhua began to gradually ascend to the world table tennis arena.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Yanhua began to appear in the world table tennis arena, winning the Asian women's team championship, the women's singles runner-up, and the women's singles championship at the Asian Championships.
It seems that Cao Yanhua has an infinite future......
In 1979, the 35th World Table Tennis Championships was held as scheduled, and Xu Yinsheng also decided to let Cao Yanhua participate in the World Series for the first time.
In this way, Cao Yanhua officially participated in the World Championships for the first time, and it is worth mentioning that Cao Yanhua has signed up for both singles and teams, which can be described as a heavy task.
Not surprisingly, the Chinese women's team finally won the championship, which was also Cao Yanhua's first world championship.
Cao Yanhua. However, Cao Yanhua, who has always been proud, has a bigger goalAlthough he won the world championship, he only got it with his predecessors such as Zhang Deying and Ge Xinai, and he was stained with the light of his predecessors.
So, Cao Yanhua set her sights on the next singles match.
But what is surprising is that Cao Yanhua lost to the Hungarian player before he started to play officially, and he was in the singles ** game early.
Cao Yanhua was extremely painful, she couldn't imagine how she lost, but she lost in a daze, but only insiders like Xu Yinsheng knew that Cao Yanhua still had many weaknesses:
The ball is of high quality, but it is unstable, lacks the ability to hold each other, and the basic technique is not solid.Cao Yanhua realized that she had to make some changes.
In fact, the first time you participate in the World Championship, you can win the world championship, which is something that many athletes dream of.
Cao Yanhua. However, Cao Yanhua is very demanding of herself.
In order to improve his weaknesses, Cao Yanhua began to study with the table tennis star Zhou Lansun under the arrangement of the coaching staff, this famous player likes Cao Yanhua very much, has high expectations for Cao Yanhua, and quickly changes the skills and tactics for Cao Yanhua.
Cao Yanhua also felt that it was very reasonable, so under the arrangement of Coach Zhou, Cao Yanhua began to change his skills and tactics to retrain the tactical system, and soon made new progress.
In 1981, the 36th World Table Tennis Championships came.
At this World Table Tennis Championships, Cao Yanhua is still a well-deserved absolute main force, signing up for singles, women's doubles and team events.
Cao Yanhua. In the team event, the Chinese women's team showed super strength, entered the finals with multiple 3-0, and finally won the team championship bloodlessly.
In the women's doubles event, Cao Yanhua cooperated with her teammates and finally won the women's doubles championship.
Next, I will mainly talk about Cao Yanhua's second singles road.
This time in singles, Cao Yanhua is full of confidence, and he is going to the championship, a little regrettable, Cao Yanhua originally planned to have a showdown with the opponent he lost to in the last World Table Tennis Championships, but unfortunately the competition system was arranged, and he did not play, which is Cao Yanhua's small regret.
Soon, Cao Yanhua successfully entered the semi-finals of singles.
In the semi-finals, Cao Yanhua's opponent was Lee Su-ja from South KoreaThis player is a rookie in South Korea in recent years, with a steady style of play and high quality of killing boards, which is very difficult to deal with, so this game is also the most interesting game in the 36th World Table Tennis Championships.
At the beginning of the game, Cao Yanhua and Li Shouzi competed for the right to the finals, Cao Yanhua had a strong momentum, first in the next game, leading 1-0, and Li Shouzi was really a difficult one, and unknowingly let Cao Yanhua lose 2 games, reversing Cao Yanhua 2-1 lead.
Cao Yanhua. At the beginning of the 4th game, Cao Yanhua began to fight, and soon won another game, and the game was dragged into the deciding game.
At the beginning of the 5th game, Cao Yanhua and Li Shouzi both knew that this was the last chance, so the two of them bit the score, and no one refused to breathe a sigh of relief, and Li Shouzi was always in the lead with the killing board, and soon got the match point, Cao Yanhua kept chasing the score and played to 20 draws.
21 draws, 22 draws,......
23 to 22, Li Shouzi was ahead, at this time, Li Shouzi smiled, and Cao Yanhua looked at Li Shouzi's smile, but suddenly calmed down, there was no tension at all, and his brain was very clear, and he quickly calculated the next ball.
Then, Cao Yanhua decided to change the serve and sent a high-toss backhand serve, which had a strong spin, but Li Shouzi did not react and took the ball out of bounds at once.
Just this one goal directly made Li Shouzi's mentality collapse, and Cao Yanhua seized the opportunity and quickly equalized the score and overtook himDefeated Lee Shouzi 3-2. Advance to the finals.
Tong Ling. It's a pity that in the final, Cao Yanhua lost to teammate Tong Ling and didn't win the women's singles championship.
In 1983, Cao Yanhua made a comeback and continued to sign up for singles and teams, and at this World Table Tennis Championships, Cao Yanhua finally realized his wish and won the championship in both singles and team.
In 1985, Cao Yanhua continued to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, but this time, Cao Yanhua gave up the registration team and participated in singles and mixed doubles.
Cao Yanhua achieved the Grand Slam of the women's event at the World Table Tennis Championships, became the absolute hegemon of the table tennis world at that time.
After the 1985 World Table Tennis Championships, Cao Yanhua also decided to retire, although he was only 23 years old, Cao Yanhua had his own ideas and chose to retire, and the national team was also very regretful.
Cao Yanhua, Shi Zhihao.
After retiring, Cao Yanhua can finally start his own life, at that time, Cao Yanhua and Shi Zhihao were in love, so after retiring, the two also chose to get married, at that time, many people in the Chinese table tennis team participated in the wedding of Cao Yanhua and his wife, and the team also sent a plaque to Cao Yanhua and his wife, which read:
"Successful retirement, Haohua autumn fruit. ”This plaque also combines the names of the two people, which can be regarded as having a heart. Soon after the marriage, Cao Yanhua and his wife received an invitation from Japan, which happened to be a boom in going abroad, so Cao Yanhua also decided to go to Japan for development.
Perhaps due to fatigue, Cao Yanhua's body had some problems, and at this time, the Federal Republic of Germany just sent an invitation to Cao Yanhua, Cao Yanhua thought for a while, the medical conditions of the Federal Republic of Germany are good, and the playing game has better development, so Cao Yanhua and Shi Zhihao decided to go to Germany again.
Cao Yanhua. After coming to Germany, Cao Yanhua quickly recovered his health under **, and after recovering his health, the German club also invited Cao Yanhua, hoping that they could participate in German playing activities and guide local athletes to play, and Cao Yanhua also agreed.
In order to thank Cao Yanhua for his dedication, the club personally arranged a three-story garden residential area for Cao Yanhua, with very complete conditions and perfect equipment, and Cao Yanhua and others lived very comfortably.
With Cao Yanhua's efforts, the skills of German table tennis players have improved a lotThe number of table tennis players who have been affected to register has reached a staggering 700,000, which is undoubtedly inseparable from Cao Yanhua's dedication.
In order to keep Cao Yanhua, Germany ** also personally came to Cao Yanhua, hoping that he could stay in Germany and fight on behalf of Germany, in order to keep Cao Yanhua and others, Germany ** even offered very amazing conditions, but Cao Yanhua understood that he was Chinese and absolutely impossible to represent Germany in the war, so he politely refused.
Cao Yanhua. After living abroad for 10 years, Cao Yanhua returned to his motherland and returned to his hometown of Shanghai.
It is worth mentioning that the famous table tennis player Xu Xin is one of Cao Yanhua's apprentices, and Xu Xin also respectfully calls Cao Yanhua Principal Cao, and Xu Xin is definitely the most famous athlete trained by Cao Yanhua.
Anyone who likes Xu Xin knows itHe is a left-handed straight shot athlete, has won many world championships, known as doubles panacea, due to some myopia, so Xu Xin sometimes plays by feel, but it is precisely because of this that he can play a lot of wonderful balls, therefore, Xu Xin is also called by fans to play with aura, simply "people's artist".
Cao Yanhua, Xu Xin.
After retiring, he can still send talents to the national team, Cao Yanhua is really good!
Let's wish Cao Yanhua's predecessors a happy and happy life!
